High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Passaic-class ironclad monitors of the U.S. Navy saw service in the U.S. Civil War and the Spanish-American War. The last such monitor was stricken from the Navy List in 1937.Naval architect and engineer John Ericsson designed the Passaic-class warships, drawing upon lessons learned from the first USS Monitor, which he also designed. The Monitor fought the Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia to a draw in the Battle of Hampton Roads, but was lost in a storm in December 1862. The Passaic monitors were larger than the original Monitor and had their pilothouses atop the turret, rather than near the bow. This allowed a wider field of fire and easier communications between captain, pilot and crew....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A passband is the range of frequencies or wavelengths that can pass through a filter without being attenuated.A bandpass filtered signal (that is, a signal with energy only in a passband), is known as a bandpass signal, as opposed to a baseband signal. In telecommunications, optics, and acoustics, a passband (not to be confused with band-pass) is the portion of the frequency spectrum that is transmitted (with minimum relative loss or maximum relative gain) by some filtering device. In other words, it is a band of frequencies which passes through some filter or set of filters. The accompanying figure shows a schematic of a waveform being filtered by a bandpass filter consisting of a highpass and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In rail transport, many passenger trains (usually medium and long-distance) have toilet facilities on board. These are often located at the ends of carriages. Toilets suitable for wheelchair users are larger, and hence trains with such facilities may not have toilets in each carriage.The traditional method of disposing human waste from trains is merely to deposit the waste onto the tracks using what is known as a Hopper Toilet. This ranges from the toilets being a hole in the floor of the train, to a full flush system (possibly with sterilization). The 'hole in the floor' (also known as a Drop Chute Toilet) system where waste is deposited on the track is still in use in many parts of the world,...

A passenger car is a piece of railway rolling stock that is designed to carry passengers. The term passenger car can also be associated with a sleeping car, baggage, dining and railway post office cars. Up until about the end of the 19th century, most passenger cars were constructed of wood. The first passenger trains did not travel very far, but they were able to haul many more passengers for a longer distance than any wagons pulled by horses. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A passenger ship is a ship whose primary function is to carry passengers. The category does not include cargo vessels which have accommodations for limited numbers of passengers, such as the ubiquitous twelve-passenger freighters once common on the seas in which the transport of passengers is secondary to the carriage of freight. The type does however include many classes of ships designed to transport substantial numbers of passengers as well as freight. Indeed, until recently virtually all ocean liners were able to transport mail, package freight and express, and other cargo in addition to passenger luggage, and were equipped with cargo holds and derricks, kingposts, or other cargo-handling...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Passenger miles per gallon (PMPG) is a metric to evaluate the energy efficiency of a vehicle or transportation mode. The PMPG can be obtained by multiplying the miles per gallon of fuel (MPG) by the passenger capacity or average occupancy. The occupancy of personal vehicles is typically lower than capacity by a considerable degree and thus the values computed based on capacity and on occupancy will often be quite different.Energy conversion efficiency is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms.

A passing loop (also called a passing siding, crossing loop, crossing place or, colloquially, a hole) is a place on a single line railway or tramway, often located at a station, where trains or trams in opposing directions can pass each other.Trains/trams in the same direction can also overtake, providing that the signalling arrangement allows it. A passing loop is usually double ended and connected to the main track at both ends, though a dead end siding, which is much less convenient, can be used. A similar arrangement is used on the gauntlet track of cable railways and funiculars. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A passive electronically scanned array (PESA), contrary to its active counterpart AESA, is a phased array which has a central radiofrequency source (such as a magnetron, a klystron or a travelling wave tube), sending energy into (usually digitally-controlled) phase shift modules, which then send energy into the various emitting elements in the front of the antenna. AESA devices, in contrast, have each of their elements contain its own radiofrequency source. A PESA radar is therefore simpler to construct than an AESA. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Passive seismic is the detection of natural low frequency earth movements, usually with the purpose of discerning geological structure and locate underground oil, gas, or other resources. Usually the data listening is done in multiple measurement points that are separated by several hundred meters, over periods of several hours to several days, using portable seismometers. The conclusions about the geological structure are based on the spectral analysis or on the mathematical reconstruction of the propagation and possible sources of the observed seismic waves . If the latter is planned, data are usually acquired in multiple (in the ideal case - all) points simultaneously, using so called...

A passing lane or overtaking lane is the lane on a multi-lane highway or motorway closest to the center of the road (the central reservation).In North American terminology, the passing lane is often known as a left lane or leftmost lane, due to left hand drive (driving on the right). In British/Irish terminology, the passing lane is termed an outer lane or outside lane, while a normal lane nearer the hard shoulder is termed an inner lane (or inside lane). Note that in some other countries, like Hungary, the passing lane is called the inner lane (belso sav in Hungarian), because this lane is the closest to the middle of the road, thus it is the innermost.

A passive radio link deflection, or passive repeater is a plant for the implementation of a microwave link, in which because of an obstacle in the signal path no direct line of sight microwave link is possible. It has the advantage over the installation of a microwave radio relay station with active components, that at the place of the installation no electricity supply is required and that no further frequencies are needed (at repeater stations with active components usually different frequencies for reception and transmission are used, in order to prevent feedbacks). The corresponding disadvantage is that the returned signal is significantly weaker. Данное издание не...
